Uttarakhand only state to have GI-certified millets.
Dec 01, 2023

As many as 18 products of Uttarakhand were awarded a geographical indication (GI) certificate by Chennai-based Geographical Indication Registry.
Some of the 18 GI tag products include candles of Nainital, litchi of Ramnagar, Buransh juice and millets of Almora. Notably, Uttarakhand became the only state in the country to have GI-tagged millets.
Managing director of Uttarakhand Organic Commodity Board, Vinay Kumar, said on Thursday, “Uttarakhand is the only state in the country that has GI certified millets.
Owing to our rich biodiversity due to the Himalayas we are sure to get more GI tags. We've already applied for more.'
The state now has 27 indigenous products GI-tagged. In 2016, the state got its first GI tag for its popular spice 'tejpatta' (Cinnamomum tamala).
 
Farmers, social organisations and women self-help groups involved in the production and promotion of these 18 products would be felicitated by the state government on Saturday, for their contribution in keeping these products in running condition.

Union minister Giriraj Singh requests Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to ban 'halal'-certified products immediately, citing connection with anti-national and terror activities. Singh's request comes after UP government's ban on 'halal certification' trade and initiation of crackdown. Singh emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation into this trade practice. Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav responds by focusing on jobs and development. Singh reminds Nitish of his association with BJP and highlights the deterioration of the rule of law. Singh argues that 'halal karobar' is unconstitutional and anti-national. He also highlights the significance of FSSAI certification and the emergence of institutions giving 'halal certification' in exchange for money.
